China's spacecraft tracking ship Yuanwang-3 sails back to a port in east China's Jiangsu Province, on July 8, 2019. China's spacecraft tracking ship Yuanwang-3 wrapped up its mission of monitoring the 46th satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and arrived at a port in east China's Jiangsu Province Monday. The tracking ship has traveled more than 30,000 nautical miles in the one-month monitoring mission.
